Mandarin (Pinyin romanization) Ǎǎ /a˨˩˦/, Ěě /ə˨˩˦/, Ǐǐ /i˨˩˦/, Ǒǒ /ə˨˩˦/, Ǔǔ /u˨˩˦/, Ǚǚ /y˨˩˦/ Pinyin was created in the 1950s, and its tone marks were based on the Bopomofo phonetic notation.[4] Note that these tone values are based on the Beijing dialect.[5]
Palatal phoneme Czech Ďď /ɟ/, Ěě /(j)ɛ/, Ňň /ɲ/, Ťť /c/ Ěě stands for an /ɛ/ that makes a previous Dd, Nn, Tt be /ɟ, ɲ, c/, a previous Bb, Ff, Pp, Vv be /bj, fj, pj, vj/, and a previous Mm /mɲ/. This letter is not found in other positions.[6]
Slovak Ďď /ɟ/, Ľľ /ʎ/, Ňň /ɲ/, Ťť /c/ In Slovak handwriting ď, ľ and ť have an actual caron instead of an apostrophe.[7]
Postalveolar consonant Akkadian (DMG-umschrift transliteration), Ancient Egyptian (traditional transliteration) Šš /ʃ/ Because Akkadian[8] and Ancient Egyptian[9] are extinct languages, the exact pronunciation can't be known for sure; so the phonemic representation here might not be entirely accurate.
Arabic (DIN 31635 romanization, ISO/R 233 romanization) Čč /t͡ʃ/, Ǧǧ /d͡ʒ~ʒ~ɡ/, Šš /ʃ/, Žž /ʒ~zˤ/ Čč and Žž represent the letters چ and ز which are not Arabic letters, but can be used in Arabic texts for transcribing sounds found in other languages.[10][11]
Arabic (ISO 233 romanization) Ǧǧ /d͡ʒ~ʒ~ɡ/, Šš /ʃ/
Arabic (Hans Wehr romanization) ǧ /d͡ʒ~ʒ~ɡ/, š /ʃ/, ž /ʒ~zˤ/ ǧ was replaced by j in the fourth edition of this romanization scheme.[12] ž represents the letter ز which is not an Arabic letter, but can be used in Arabic texts for transcribing sounds found in other languages.[11] Hans Wehr romanization does not include capital letters.[12]
Czech, Latgalian, Latvian Čč /tʃ/, Šš /ʃ/, Žž /ʒ/ Unaccented Cc stands for /ts/ in Czech, Latvian and Latgalian.
